Wal-Mart: A New Horror Story Everyday?

I accomplished a fair amount of work today. I just started the fourth novel for my Study of The Novel class, Mrs. Dalloway. It's pretty good so far. I find it to be really poetic in its style, which means that I am tempted to do some internet research on it to ensure I am on track with the storyline. But I don't think I will. Not yet anyway. I did that with Pride and Prejudice, and I enjoyed reading the end of the novel because of it. But I think I'll save the research for this one until I''m finished.

I'm about 1/3 finished my MissBiz article for this upcoming Journal. I wont disclose exactly what it is until I post the full article on Wednesday, but I did come across something quite disturbing in my research...

http://www.walmartsucks.org. Their tagline: "A New Horror Story Everyday, Or We'll Give You Your Money Back".

The stories on here are unbelieveable. Some of them are so extreme that I am questioning the validity of the site altogether. Some of them do seem genuine, but one woman wrote in about her Wal-Mart supervisor recruiting her into some kind of cult, and a cult member impregnating her at a gathering (!?). I do believe some of the stories, but I think that the oppression and borderline abuse Wal-Mart forces upon its entry-level employees would drive anyone to exagerate the truth. I don't necessarily blame them.

Anyway, this article has expanded my peripheral vision, so to speak, and I will never look at Wal-Mart or any big-boxed store the same ever again.

Vive La Petite Entreprise!

I can't wait to finish this article!

Keep Bizzy!
